The differences between the short run and the long run in macroeconomics.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Differences between the short run and the long run in macroeconomics:

  1. 1. In the short run, input prices do not respond to the change in the price level. That is, input prices are inflexible. In the long run, however, input prices are flexible.
  1. 2. In the long run, the economy will adjust itself. That is, there is no need of government intervention. But in the short run, fiscal and monetary policies are required to stabilize the economy.

The distinction between the short run and the long run is important to have better analysis of short run and long run aspects.

Economics Concept Introduction

Concept introduction:

Short run: Short run refers to the time period which does not allow the change in capital to adjust with the market situation.

Long run: Long run refers to the time period which allows the change in capital to adjust with the market situation.

3. The world was growing at a constant growth of 0.00007% rate between 100,000 BC and 1750AD. If birth rates per thousand averaged 35 during this period , what was the average death rate in equilibrium. (approximately) O 31 35 40 8. Which of the following statements is correct? A model is an exact representation of what goes on in the economy. Equilibrium in GDP growth rate is when the growth rate is zero. A model is an economic relationship that is only represented by mathematics. Equilibrium is a self-perpetuating situation that does not change, unless a force for change is introduced from the outside and alters the basic data describing the situation. 9. According to Malthus, which of the following are the not the causes of diminishing average product of labor? Environmental effects of over-cultivation (e.g. increased carbon emissions) Increase in population growth rate More labour is devoted to a fixed quantity of land.

4. Suppose that the table below shows an economy's relationship between real output and the inputs needed to produce that output: LO4 Input Quantity Real GDP 150.0 $400, 112.5 300 75.0 200 a. What is productivity in this economy? b. What is the per-unit cost of production if the price of each input unit is $2? c. Assume that the input price increases from $2 to $3 with no accompanying change in productivity. What is the new per-unit cost of production? In what direction would the $1 increase in input price push the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the price level and the level of real output? d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but, instead, that productivity increases by 100 percent. What would be the new per-unit cost of production? What effect would this change in per-unit production cost have on the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the price…
9:22 1 LTE Aggregate D&S assignment chap 12.... Assignment Chapter 12 1. Suppose that the aggregate demand and aggregate supply schedules for a hypothetical economy are as shown below: LO5 Amount of Amount of Real GDP Real GDP Demanded, Billions Price Level Supplied, Billions (Price Index) $100 300 $450 200 250 400 300 200 300 400 150 200 500 100 100 a. Use these sets of data to graph the aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves. What is the equilibrium price level and the equilibrium level of real output in this hypothetical economy? Is the equilibrium real output also necessarily the full-employment real output? b. If the price level in this economy is 150, will quantity demanded equal, exceed, or fall short of quantity supplied? By what amount? If the price level is 250, will quantity demanded equal, exceed, or fall short of quantity supplied? By what amount? c. Suppose that buyers desire to purchase $200 billion of extra real output at each price level. Sketch in the new…
